Bay City was utrlckeu out and East ,Sagl.
nav was inserted as tho place ut which
the court was to be held. The conference

Mr.. Taroney, Of Michigan opposed the
adoption Of the report and callod attention
to tho decisive vote by which the House

were favorable to East Saginaw. These
gentlemen had been appointed. One Of
them, Mr., Collins, Of fMa1sachusett had ro-
frainedfrom signing gtheprssent conference

ney) to believe-in fact had assured him
that he was in favor OF East Saginaw, and
relying on tho assurance OF the gentleman
he had gone to tho Speaker aud solicited

man doing as he had promised to do he
had agreed to the conference report.
Who was 'he2 Tho distinguished gem
tieman from Massachusetts (Mr. Ranneyj
He (Mr. Tarsnoy) stood in manly oppo-
sition TO this report. II. he was to be a
victim OF misplaced confidence, we'll and
good but IT Sas not that alone, but the
great constituency which cent him here,
who would be the sufferers of tho mistake
he had made. In spirit Of decency, the
House should stand and enter q protest

Mr.. Collins, Of Mas5., the member Of
the conference committee who did not
eign the report, in referring to Mr. Tars-
neys charge that Mr.. Rannoy had pre-
tended to be in favor OF East Saginaw,
oaid that il he could reveal the secrets Of
tho prison house ho would be strongly in
elined to agreo with the gentleman from
Michigan. (Applauss on Democratic
side.) His colleague in manner worthy
of q pettitogsar, had insulted his friend
from Michigan.
Mr.. Rannoy said that ho neve. pretend.
ed anything. He had boen inclined to
favor East Saginaw but had voted in ts.
vor Of Bay City because he had deferred
to the judgment Of tho Judiciary Com
mittea. AS he voted, be generally con-
! cluded, and If the gentleman. (Mr. Tars-
noy) supposed that he was going back on
his vote and record or II any gentleman
